【3】 make sure

【4】 to stay out

【5】 move out

【解析】

這是一則對話，主要圍繞著孩子和家長之間的不理解展開，家長對孩子有很多的要求，很多的期待，但孩子對部分要求不是很認可，對父母有稍許的抱怨。

【1】句意：好吧，當(dāng)他們讓我停止在iPad上玩游戲時，我對我父母頂了嘴。從后句的“他們沒有生氣嗎”可以推斷出這里說話人是對父母頂了嘴，故填動詞短語“頂嘴”talked back。

【2】句意：我只是想為什么他們一直對我這么嚴厲。前面提到父母不要讓說話人玩游戲，所以這里是表達說話人的不理解，不明白為什么父母這么嚴格，故填短語“對…嚴格”are strict with。

【3】句意：那是因為他們想確定你正在盡力做一個好孩子。這里是陳述父母的用意，是想確定孩子是在努力做最好的自己，故填短語“確定”make sure。

【4】句意：例如，我不被允許在晚上待在外面。從后句的“他們是想要你安全”可以推知父母是不讓孩子晚上在外面逗留，短語be allowed to do意為“被允許去做…”，故填短語“在外逗留”stay out的不定式形式to stay out。

【5】句意：有的時候我不能忍受他們無休止的嘮叨，甚至我想搬出去。前句說忍受不了父母，推測他可能想要“搬出去”，短語want to do意為“想要做”，故填短語“搬出去”move out。
